Art, ecology, and community come together in a new exhibition which invites the public to experience what still thrives, and what could be lost.
Still Wallum, presented by Save Wallum, is a free annual art exhibition celebrating the endangered Wallum ecosystems of Brunswick Heads. This year’s event will be held at Wheel of Life Studio, with the official opening on Wednesday 17 December, timed to coincide with the vibrant Brunswick Heads Christmas Twilight Market.
Organisers say the exhibition invites the community to reconnect with the rich biodiversity of the region, through stunning large-format photography and ceramic tributes to the vulnerable glossy black cockatoo.
As part of the show, artist Lucy Vanstone presents a new collection of glossy-inspired ceramics, created in honour of these cockatoos and the unique Wallum habitats they depend upon.
Twenty per cent of all sales from Ms Vanstone’s ceramics will be donated to Save Wallum, directly supporting legal and community efforts to protect the area.
Featured photography is by Mark Seiffert, Mac Maderski, Paddy Booth and Beverley Callow, whose image-making captures the quiet grandeur and fragile resilience of this special place.
